I’d like to get into 3D printed fashion accessories and furniture idk
I have an old Ender v3 Pro that I don’t use and I don’t want to throw away.
If you’re in the UK or willing to pay for postage you can have it for nothing.
The one I had designed for integrating 12V power connections in my LEGO builds. I designed two 2x2 bricks with openings to receive a male and female connector on one side and two holes for the wires on the other. I integrate them into my models to have a 12V power grid across all my modules.
This sounds great…
Then I remember Lego tolerance points and the calibration needed. Damn.
The project addresses this. First, I don’t need LEGO level precision, as the connectors are built-in in a way that they are not visible. They are surrounded by real LEGO parts that keep them sufficiently in place so they meet the opposite connector, and that is OK.
Second, the guy who prints those connector housings for me is already a specialist in printing LEGO-fitting 3D prints.
You don’t need Lego-level tolerances to at least function with Lego. Look at MegaConstrux (formerly MegaBloks). They’re garbage on tolerances, but they mostly work fine.
I’ve successfully printed 3/4 scale Lego-style bricks to work with a 3/4 scale brick set I have, and using a 0.2mm nozzle they came out great. I can only assume that at full scale they would work just as well.
Mainly, other production machines I’ve designed for work. I print a LOT of stuff, I print for retail, home repair, and fun.

At work we have these phones that sit plugged in all day and run stuff. I got tired of having 6 phones scattered on my desk and wanted to organize them. So I designed and printed this little tower for them.
Each level is stackable so you can make it as tall as you want. The phones sit in little trays that make it easy for them to slide in and out. And on the side there’s fans to blow air over the phones and keep them cool. I recently added air filters but apparently I didn’t take any pictures of it yet.
That’s neat. I’m curious about what all the phones are running?
Not OP, but usually you use this for automated tests when you develop mobile apps
Are today’s phone sopowerful that you can run them in ant sized server cabinets?
But pretty neat project
I have a 3D printed chess set that I love using.
This is on my todo list
Playing chess? Or printing a set?
Printing a few fun sets of chess pieces.
My concern is weight. I was thinking of embedding earth magnets into the base for weight and stability.
Or print in vase mode without a bottom and fill will sand then epoxy a cap on.Oh no… Why did I see this??
That is pretty cool. I printed https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2078833
We have a 3D printed ukulele and ocarina. Those were fun to make.
I also like the 3D printed iris box that prints in place, really cool to show people.
Also 3D printed a sun dial for my dad that displays the time like digital numbers.
Now I was one in wood pla!
Functional ones. Like this case for an RSP1 clone that used to be sold on AliExpress: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5507066
Might be good idea to tape it over with aluminum tape for shielding.Or this for a Ulefone uSmart adapter to make it into a USB-C: https://www.printables.com/model/493211-ulefone-usmart-usb-c-adaptor
This connector is basically just pins from USB-C, but in a way that can only be used with their own accessories. Honestly this should be sold by them. I’d be willing to buy it even if it was like €15 (just better quality than a 3D print, of course).deleted by creator
